gh-109287: Desugar inst(X) to op(X); macro(X) = X (#109294)
This makes the internal representation in the code generator simpler: there's a list of ops, and a list of macros, and there's no special-casing needed for ops that aren't macros. (There's now special-casing for ops that are also macros, but that's simpler.)

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
